Yes, you can add gps coordinates to the Humminbird 998c one of two ways. You can manually enter latitude and longitude, the select "go to", or while using the gps map view you can move the on-screen cursor from where you currently are at to the point you want to go to, then select "go to".

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.

The unit needs to be charged and then it wii take you to the location of your choice. You also need the Internet to update the locations when necessary

Yes. But it takes 3-20 min, depending on your location to aquire the GPS sattelites.

Yes, you can...while I don't have this unit, I recently visited some friends who had just purchased it and were flying to Chicago. I programmed their whole trip from O'Hare to all their desinations and back to O'Hare and they never had a problem except for once because my friend didn't trust the GPS...he said you have to trust it. I think I used the Point of Interest to start the routing...use airports and type in Los Angeles or LAX

Can I program the unit so that it will follow stops that I have designated along the way and also will I be able to modify the path to my liking?

Yes, do it all the time. You can use any mapping program that can create GPS coordinates (Google Maps) and either transfer or copy to the Garmin (I use RoadTrip from Garmin; MacGPS Pro works great also). Be aware that GPS is not all that accurate and a point can be off be 10 meters (30 feet) or more depending on satellite positions and movement of the GPS unit. For general use its great, marking hazards is a bit more general area and caution should be used. Hope this helps.

Yes. I can understand your confusion since unlike some GPS models it doesn't have a dedicated "go to" button, but the functionality is there.

yes you can enter cordinants and set way-points i would still recommend a better GPS I really regret buying mine

Can you use the GPS for putting only the date and time on your pics?? Not wanting the location.

Unfortunately, GPS in this model is not available! But you can connect it optionally

First you must set up your GPS to the same format of the coordinates you are trying to put in it. 1. Go to SETUP&gt;UNITS&gt;POSITION FORMAT and change the Position Format to the format of the coordinates you are trying to input. In your case it would be "H D.D" (Decimal Degree Format) To navigate to the coordinates, hold the enter/mark button. Then Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the coordinates. Actually, follow this list. A. Firmly Hold enter/mark B. Use your up/down arrows to highlight the coordinates at the bottom C. Once you've highlighted the coordinates, Press enter/mark once D. Use the arrow and enter button to edit the coordinates. E. Once you've put the right coordinates, press the arrow keys to highlight OK F. Hit Enter. G. (Optional, give the coordinate a name. I.e. Cache. Home. Entrance. Trail fork. etc) Default names are numbers starting with 001. I suggest naming your coordinates, if you don't name them, have a piece of paper that tells you what coordinate is what. I.e. 001 = Home 002 = Work 003= Secret Dead Body H. Once you've entered the name, or are satisfied with your coordinates, highlight "OK?" I. Hit enter. J. Firmly Hold "goto" (It should open up all your waypoints grouped by the first letters of the name). K. Select the group in which your waypoint falls (0-9, A-H, I-P, Q-Z) L. Highlight your waypoint. M. Hit Enter/Mark. N. It will take you to your compass page, it will show the direction and distance to/from your waypoint. Tip: I suggest investing in USGS MGRS maps and using your GPS to figure out where you are on a physical map...I don't suggest using this GPS as your sole method of navigation, as it may lead you off a cliff or up a mountain, as it has no real map data, just the ability to know your coordinates and elevation.

Yes. But you can use mainly cities only as destinations. Using coordinates of your destination is the best way to go.

Entering way points or destinations is relatively easy. Particularly, if you already use any type of road oriented GPS, as long as you are aware of your longitude and latitude. It will also guide you into your selected place within the buoys.

Can you find a place by inputting latitude and longitude or just by street addresses?RegardsTom

yes, you can plan your routes in google maps ( or any other similar mapping application ) and then import the routes into GPS unit. The maps can be updated as well.
